Depends on the crank used whether it has shims or not although Mr. Webster once told me not to use any whatever crank I used.The main problem is finding some good enough to use especially in a high revving kit like the Imola,but that's my opinion.

Don't think you should fit an Imola to any crank that doesn't have big-end shims - in which case gudgeon pin shims aren't required.
You can get decent race-type cranks for little more than £100 from the likes of JB tuning or PM - its a false economy to use anything lower spec than that.
